Liam – Pretender lyrics
If I asked you
Would you tell me
What you really
Think about me
Would you make up
Something charming
Or would you be straight?
(And just give it all up)
People they say
Anything you want to hear
(They just lay it all out)
In such a way
Though the meaning is unclear
But I'm a pretender
And I am an actor
Though my confession don't mean
I repent a thing
'Cause it don't mean nothing
'Cause it don't mean nothing
And I'm gonna lose myself
In all the lies I spin
Do, do do do, do do do
Do do, do do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do...
Would you hold it
All against me
If I want it
Oh so badly,
That I make up
A few stories,
That are less than true
(Just to try them all out.)
Well I could admit
We haven't made it all that far
(I been working so hard.)
But I can't resist
'Cause darling I'm gonna be a star
But I'm a pretender
And I am a rock star
Though my confession don't mean
I repent a thing
'Cause it don't mean nothing
'Cause it don't mean nothing
And I'm gonna lose myself
In all the lies I spin
And when it all goes down
I'll be right
and I'll still think of you
As they whisk me
All around the world
I'll be gone
But I'll be right
But I'm a pretender
But not for much longer
Cause one of these days my life
Will catch up to my lies
'Cause they don't mean nothing
'Cause they don't mean nothing
And we're gonna do this thing
And there's no compromise
(All the lies I spin...)
But I'm a pretender
And I am an actor
Though my confession don't mean
I repent a thing.
'Cause it don't mean nothing
Cause it don't mean nothing
And I'm gonna lose myself
In all the lies I spin
Do, do do do, do do do
Do do, do do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do...
